Craving compassion I seek the wisdom of the river – Her glimmering waters reflect sun’s warmth I am at once calmed and uplifted – seagull raises his wings emits an ungodly chuckle. (Image, my own, is not actually a Laughing Gull, but the title fits.)
Bridging was his MO caught me post divorce when needs were slippery Sapped my spirit drained my love, then latched onto new youth – Most liberating gift he ever gave me. (Image from personal collection)
The waters of my soul are still tonight the harshness of day’s light, easing now into quiet solitude. I surrender to renewal knowing that no matter what tomorrow brings I have peace within to guide me. (Submitted for Eugi’s Causerie weekly prompt: renewal. Image my own. Peace Within first appeared here June, 2018.)
Our little Miniature Pinscher had a life jacket for going out on the canoe with us. One day she was out with us, sitting beside me on the seat, and suddenly I heard lots of splashing. I looked and she had either jumped or fallen into the water when my head was turned. If you notice in your photo, there’s a handle on top of the life jacket. That’s so you can haul them out of the water easily if you need to. I just grabbed the little handle and pulled her back up into the canoe. Thanks for bringing back a special memory of my beloved Cindy Lou.

Awwww, that’s very sweet! I thought all dogs were good swimmers but maybe this protects him in case of an accident if he’s injured??

I don’t know. The dogs we had always swam, but this dog did seem more two than four footed, lol.
